Dr Peter Smith (Cambridge University)
Squeezing Church's Thesis Again
In the very last chapter of my Introduction to Gödel’s Theorems, I claimed that there is a sense in which we can informally prove Church's Thesis. This is very much the minority line. In this talk I take a fresh look at the arguments in favour of my claim in an effort to get clearer about the nature and prospects of so-called squeezing arguments.
The Philosophy seminars are held in Burns 4 at 11am on Wednesdays (unless otherwise stated). The session normally runs for one and a half hours.
